Setting up Shop

Taking on the writing position with Apartment Therapy has been a lot of work and it's keeping me super busy (maybe you could tell:). I'm still learning how to balance the new demands, while attempting to live the everyday artfully--creating this blog and its mission has been a surprising help for keeping me in check.

Anyways, the point of this post is that with all the time I need to spend writing, editing pictures, answering emails these days, I've realized I need a bit more of a "real" workspace so my husband is busy helping me turn an unused closet/alcove into a mini-office. Here are some of my inspiration photos. Normally, white is not my thing but because my desk tends to get cluttered quickly, I need all the simplicity I can get. So blank canvas is the thought.Plus, at the moment, my life (thankfully) is anything but lacking in color....

Hi! I just happened upon your blog when I was looking up interesting design stores in DC. What a great blog! Kids are adorable and I love love your aesthetic. Let me ask you: we're moving to DC in summer and I'm looking for a good designer. It's so hard to sort through the lists!! And people's recommendations don't exactly match my own taste. Can you recommend any designers who share your aesthetic? I loved the interiors on your blog -- neutral, interesting pieces, not fussy, modern yet classic, liveable, NO FLORALS. We're looking at a place in Georgetown that has good bones but will need much love and attention.Thanks! And good luck with your blog. I'm not a blogger at all, but I just happened upon your site when looking up Oliver Dunn, Moss & Co. AmyTercek at amytercek@gmail.com

Leah, love your ideas, as alway, and especially love the sweet little pic at the end :). Please post a pic when you get your "office" set up... I am curious! I love getting ideas from you! We just turned our formal "living room" (front room) into a home office. so far, so good... we use it more that way than we would as a living room. We still have one more room to go in our house-- our formal dining room (right now it has our big ND rug and an old table w/out chairs in it... yikes!). Can't wait to see your finished product, love what you are doing with your creativity in your family and job.

everyday artful living

Harmony can be struck between the everyday and the gourmet, and even a busy home has the potential to be a place of peace and inspiration. Driven by the conviction that beauty is essential AND attainable, I've made it my mission to seek out and highlight what is most beautiful, delicious, and inspiring in the everyday details.
